What is a Lipoma?
A lipoma is a slow-growing, benign, fatty lump of soft tissue that forms beneath the skin. While generally harmless and painless, you may choose to have them removed due to discomfort, cosmetic concerns, or if the lump increases in size. Lipomas commonly appear on the neck, shoulders, lower back, upper back, arms, abdomen, and inner thighs.
Benefits of Lipoma Removal Surgery
Permanent Removal
Eliminates the lipoma completely, preventing recurrence.
Pain Relief
Reduces discomfort or pain caused by large or pressing lipomas.
Improved Mobility
Enhances movement if the lipoma was restricting motion.
Cosmetic Enhancement
Restores smooth skin and boosts confidence.
Minimally Invasive Options
Advanced techniques ensure minimal scarring and quick recovery.
Why Consider Lipoma Removal?
Although lipomas are non-cancerous and typically painless, we recommend removal if:
-
The lump is growing rapidly.
-
It causes discomfort or pain.
-
It restricts movement.
-
There is a risk of infection or inflammation.
-
You have aesthetic concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Insurance Cover Lipoma Removal? If the lipoma causes pain or affects mobility, some health insurance providers may cover the procedure. However, cosmetic removals may not be covered. Always consult your insurance provider to confirm coverage options.
Is lipoma removal a painful procedure? Lipoma removal is usually performed under local anesthesia, making the procedure painless. Patients may experience mild discomfort or soreness after surgery, but this can be managed with prescribed pain relievers and proper aftercare.
How long does it take to recover from lipoma removal? Most patients recover within a few days to a week, depending on the size and number of lipomas removed. Minimally invasive techniques lead to faster healing, and stitches (if required) are usually removed within 7-10 days.
Will there be a scar after lipoma removal? Scarring is minimal, especially when using advanced techniques like minimal incision extraction or liposuction. Over time, scars fade significantly and become barely noticeable with proper post-surgical care.
Can a Lipoma Grow on My Stomach? Yes, lipomas can grow on the stomach. These benign (non-cancerous) growths of fatty tissue can form anywhere on the body, including the abdominal area. Lipomas are usually soft, movable, and painless lumps beneath the skin. While they are most commonly found on the upper body, thighs, or arms, they can develop on the stomach.
